Environment—building temperature settings
(Question No 459)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Attorney-General, upon notice, on 10 December 2009:
(1) In relation to the main buildings of the Minister’s department, what temperature does the department set for summer and winter.
(2) Has the department trialled changed temperatures; if so, what energy savings and staff reaction were there.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
All air conditioned office premises, both owned and leased, have a targeted temperature range of between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius.
This is in line with the ACT Government’s ACT Public Service Occupational Health & Safety Policies No. 11 “Thermal Comfort in ACT Government Workplaces” and No. P18 “Air Quality – Indoor Environments”.
This is a year round target.
There have been no trials for temperatures changes within my portfolio as Attorney General.
